have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the correct
answers in about 3 days.

notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2022-09-09

Hockey Hall of Fame. 2 for Pete -- making the round count for
everyone.

> 2. 60 Simcoe St.

Roy Thompson Hall.

> 3. 37 King St. E.

Omni King Edward Hotel. Of course, "King Edward" was sufficient.

> 4. 60 Queen St. W.

Old City Hall.

> 5. 92 Front St. E.

St. Lawrence Market north building. "St. Lawrence Market" was
sufficient. (The north building closed in 2015 and replacement with
a new building is, the last I heard, still in progress.)

> 6. 100 Front St. W.

Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Of course, "Royal York" was sufficient.

> 7. 317 Dundas St. W.

Art Gallery of Ontario.

> 8. 581 Bloor St. W. """-- for the time being""".

Honest Ed's store. (It closed at the end of 2016, and this was
already scheduled at the time of the original game. The building was
then demolished and the property redeveloped into a mixed-use complex
under the name Mirvish Village, so I'm accepting that answer also.)

> 9. 279 Yonge St. (Hint: Part of an international chain.)

Hard Rock Cafe. (It closed in 2017. A Shopper's Drug Mart store
now occupies the site, so that answer was acceptable.)

> 10. 1214 Queen St. W. (Hint: Renovated by daughter of famous

Gladstone Hotel. (Now named Gladstone House, but "Gladstone"
was sufficient.)
